The best part of the One Room Challenge for me is seeing all the transforming rooms. I love it when they go from blah to Holy Fabulous!!! I also love the stories behind each room. The budgeting, the scores and most of all the DIYs.
First there are the 20 original ORC partners!
I am a daily reader of Calling It Home, The Pink Pagoda and Chinoiserie Chic and I can't wait to peruse the blogs of the remaining 17.
And then there are the 72 linking partners! Can you believe it?? Yes, I said 72!!
Here are my current faves ...
Kimber is transforming her master suite from a white box to an amazing Oly inspired picture of fabulous!!
I love her honesty, her humor and her post about painting her boring back splash tiles in her kitchen might be the most amazing thing I have seen in a while. And please note .. I will be painting mine this weekend!
This laundry room make over is ridic good!!! I love every single element Frances has pinned. It makes me want to gut my laundry room and start from ground zero. Luckily for Lawyer we don't have the space to make that dream a reality!!
Ok ... this may be my new favorite blog!!! Ashley is amazing and her bathroom makeover is stunning!!! This picture includes her newly installed hand painted silk "faux de Gournay" wallpaper and 2 newly installed vintage sconces. I can't get enough of this room. She saved a bundle by ordering these hand painted silk panels from Ebay and her investment paid off in spades!!
Are they not amazing???
I am incredibly inspired by each and every participant in the challenge. It takes a lot to commit to six weeks of work in the busy lives we all lead!! I hope they are as excited as I am to complete my room and reap the rewards!
Happy Friday!!
